Where Do The Locals Go?

If you visit any city or popular site, anywhere in the world, you probably hope to see the landmarks: the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, the pyramids, Big Ben, the Golden Gate Bridge. That’s a given. But any city, particularly one as vibrant and diverse as San Francisco, has so much more to offer than its landmarks.

By all means, don’t miss out on visiting the famous bridge, Fisherman’s wharf, Pier 39, Alcatraz, Lombard Street and cable cars if you’re so inclined. That will give you an introduction to the City by the Bay. But if you really want to enjoy your visit to anywhere in the world, ask the locals where they eat and otherwise spend their time.

That’s the unique element we bring to our corporate retreats, whether it’s the best place to buy a cup of coffee or a picturesque park the crowds haven’t discovered yet or the cable-car stop with the fewest people milling about.

Sometimes it seems there are almost as many tour guides as tourists in San Francisco, so how do you choose which tour operator is right for your corporate needs? If you’re looking for a corporate retreat, employee bonding experience or a welcome tour for new workers, think about offering a blend of the old way and the new way that New Group Guides provides. The object is to leave the participants with painless knowledge and lasting memories. With rare exceptions (some people one can never please), our tours foment a camaraderie among the people sightseeing, often resulting in long-lasting friendships.

With our in-depth local knowledge, we can customize our corporate retreats to achieve your specific goals or to relate an experience to a particular industry or interest—fine dining, finance, construction, real estate, for instance. Whether it is to reward, impress or motivate your employees or co-workers, we can achieve your goals, enhancing the experience with our local info.
